Handy Patterns--Register to Win

Those e-media folks at Interweave have been at it again and now The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns is available as an iPad (sorry, I was told earlier that it was available for the iPhone as well, but that is incorrect) app. Appropriately called Handy Patterns, this "handy" app, provides instructions for more than 350 patterns, including mittens, gloves, hats, tams, socks, scarves, sweaters, and vests--all in multiple sizes and multiple gauges--at the touch of a finger.

Comment to this post (only one entry per person, please) and tell me why you'd like Handy Patterns, and I'll draw a winner Sunday, March 25.

A Handy Patterns APP?!?!? Wow, I've been living under a rock! That would be a great addition to my iPad since I keep all my digital patterns on there for knitting on the go! Having that right there at my fingertips would be supremely awesome!

Doesn't look like my comment made it. I'll try again. This looks like a really handy app to have, especially when a gorgeous skein of yarn presents itself and I have no idea what to knit with it. Thanks for the giveaway.

Call me old fashioned, but I can't wait for the hard copy of the book. I use the sweater/hat etc pattern books all the time. To have a top down version of the sweater book- perfect for me. The i-pad download is really cool. Always having the bok at your finger tips does have it's advantages. Thanks for keeping our creativity inspired. Karen

Recently my work has shifted so that I travel a LOT. I'm trying to make the most of it and visit yarn stores in new towns --- my kind of souvenir. Wouldn't it be great to have patterns handy on my phone? Pick me, pick me, please!

Oh boy,do you realize what this app would do to my knitting? I travel a lot and during the travels carry only my needles, buying yarn at a LYS at my destination. But, of course I'm not going to be carrying a million patterns with me... so this would be a wonderful add to my brand new travel companion (no, I'm not talking about a hunk but about my iPhone...), a revolution in traveling!Liisa

Oh wow! What an awesome idea! Handy Patterns would be a great addition to my most frequent form of knitting these days- on the T on the way to work! Quick, handy, patterns, most of which fit in my lap, and all available on my iPhone so no papers to worry about? Love it!

What a wonderful resource to have at your fingertips! I love to make road trips to different yarn shops and always seem to find a skein or two of yarn that I can't leave the store without! An app like this would (an will) be a great resource -and )if I am not driving :) ) I can start working on my project right after leaving the store! (I always travel with my Addi Clicks)!!

Include at least one or two portions of red meat or eggs.Bottled green teas tend to have quite a bit of global travel. Now you have to do a natural Detoxing The Body Naturally for the blood.A recent clinical study with over 100 participants showed that the pawpaw extract, containing a mixture of acetogenins, supports the body's normal cells during times of cellular stress.

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
